TL;DR

The findings define the cellular trajectories of neurodegeneration in CS, and identify convergent endolysosomal, mitochondrial, and inflammatory mechanisms that support a broader role for endolysosomal dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis.

KATNAL2 dysfunction impairs microtubule dynamics and contributes to syndromic neurodevelopmental disease

Abstract Katanins are microtubule-severing ATPases. Dysfunction of katanin subunits has been implicated in impaired neurogenesis, morphogenesis, and neuronal migration. Although heterozygous variants in KATNAL2 (katanin-like 2), a known autism-spectrum disorder (ASD) risk gene, have been reported in patients with ASD o...

Spatial and single-nucleus transcriptomics reveals the molecular pathology of type 2 diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction.

The mechanisms underlying type 2 diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction (DACD) remain poorly understood, hindering therapeutic progress. Here, we integrated spatial transcriptomics and single-nucleus RNA sequencing to delineate the spatiotemporal molecular and cellular landscape of DACD in brain tissues from 3- and...

Integrated morphological, multi-omics, and functional profiling reveals microglial plasticity driven by AD risk genes

It is shown that depletion of these AD risk genes disrupts baseline morpho-transcriptomic coupling and fundamentally alters microglial phagocytic capacity, revealing how AD GWAS genes may drive microglia into dysfunctional states characterized by altered morphology, distinct multi-omic signatures, and impaired function...

MA-5 attenuates disease-associated transcriptomic aging and pathological microglial states in Gaucher disease

Overall, MA-5 suppresses neuroinflammation and reverses accelerated transcriptomic aging, supporting its potential as a therapeutic strategy for GD and other lysosomal storage disorders, as well as for diseases characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and pathological accumulation.

Cross-species single-nucleus transcriptomics identifies microglial Arhgap22 as a conserved modulator of synaptic phagocytosis and depression-related behaviors

Microglia-regulated neuroinflammation is associated with major depressive disorder (MDD), yet the molecular drivers of pathological microglia-neuron interactions remain poorly defined. Here, we conducted single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in mice susceptible to chronic social def...
